all
of
the

from

I'm

be
a
really
organic
conversation.
I

Obviously
I
think
we
all

why
you
are
here
with

I'm
I
was
like.
Is
she
even
be
able
to

with

because
we're
just
kind
of
biting
our
fingernails,
but
obviously
I.
C
D
A
Don't
want
to
just
hear
about
you
know
you
being
in
the
trenches
for
roe
v
wade,
but
obviously
I
would
love
to
just
give
you
space
to
talk
about
what
you're,
amplifying
in
your
role
as
ceo
of
planned
parenthood
and
this
reimagining
of
reproductive
justice
mainstreamed
as
healthcare
at
large.
So
essentially,
what
brings
you
to
this
work?
Give
us
a
little
info
about
your
background.
What
brought
you
here
to
pittsburgh
and
then
we
can,
just
you,
know,
ping
pong
and
have
literally
an
organic
conversation.
So
the
floor
is
yours.
Well,.
B
Thank
you
so
much
morgan
for
inviting
me
and
thank
you
all
for
having
me
join
you
today.
It
is
really
an
honor
to
be
here
and
I
was
happy
I
was
like.
I
got
30
minutes
of
my
schedule
and
I
can
give
it
to
you
all,
because
I
really
wanted
to
be
here
today
and
so
thank
you
so
much.
My
name
is
sydney
etheridge
and
I
am
the
new
president
and
ceo
of
planned
parenthood
of
western
pennsylvania.
B
I
can
give
a
little
bit
of
background
about
myself,
because
I
think
talking
about
my
my
work
and
kind
of
what
I
did
before
I
came
here
really
sets
up
kind
of
what
I
want
to
be
doing
here
and
then,
of
course,
I'm
happy
to
talk
more
about
what
we're
seeing
with
the
supreme
court
and
how
that
will
impact
our
our
affiliate
and
our
region.
B
So
I
started
in
january,
in
this
role
and
prior
to
coming,
to
planned
parenthood
of
western
pennsylvania.
I
spent
about
10
years
at
the
planned
parenthood
national
office
in
washington
dc,
and
what
I
really
was
focusing
on
was
the
intersection
of
healthcare
policy
and
healthcare
operations.
So
I
really
started
in
that
role
in
right.
B
After
the
affordable
care
act
was
passed,
and
so
we
were
seeing
a
lot
of
federal
legislation
that
was
really
moving,
the
needle
for
sexual
reproductive
health
care
and
women's
health
care
forward
within
our
broader
health
care
system,
or
what
we
were
hoping
was
going
to
really
move
the
needle
forward,
and
we
knew
that,
as
those
policies
were
being
rolled
out
at
both
the
federal
and
state
level,
it
was
really
going
to
take
a
lot
of
work
with
our
affiliates
on
the
ground
as
to
operationalizing
these
things.
B
And
so
a
perfect
example
is,
you
know,
cost
sharing
for
contraceptives.
That
is
a
wonderful
policy
that
the
affordable
care
act
put
in
place.
But
when
you're,
not
a
pharmacy
or
you're,
not
a
hospital
with
a
pharmacist
on
site
and
you're,
a
non-pharmaceutical
dispensing
site
that
can
it
can
be
hard
to.
You
know
verify
pharmacy
benefits.
It
can
take
a
long
time.
B
You
know
and
we're
not
a
cvs,
so
you
can't
go
shopping
or
you
can't
like
peruse
the
aisles,
while
you're
waiting
for
them
to
verify
your
benefits
and
then
get
your
prescription,
and
so
like
it
was
things
like
that.
It
was
really
the
work
like
that,
but
it
is
in
that
intersection
where
policy
and
operations
meet
that,
I
believe,
really
drives
our
health
care
system
forward
and
is
where
we
start
seeing
kind
of
movement
within
the
space.
B
And
then
so.
I
I
took
this
job
in
january,
always
being
really
interested
in
planned
parenthood.
Western
pennsylvania,
because
I
graduated
from
the
university
of
pittsburgh
from
undergrad
and
studied
sociology
and
took
a
lot
of
classes
at
the
school
of
public
health
focused
on
the
sociology
of
medicine,
so
really
understanding
the
role
our
health
care
system
had
and
the
decisions
that
we
made
at
multiple
points
in
our
country's
history.
That
led
us
to
the
system
that
we
currently
have
and
how
that
was
kind
of
steeped
in
racism
in
sexism.
B
B
A
perfect
example
that
I've
been
using
a
lot
is
when
women
or
people
with
uteruses
need
to
go
to
an
ob
gyn
to
get
a
pap
smear
annually
or
or
they
need
to
be
visiting
their
ob
every
year
for
their
for
their
visits
or
their
gyn
provider.
Why
is
that
considered?
A
specialty
when
that's
over,
like
half
the
population
needs
to
access
these
services?
That's
considered
like
a
specialty
provider,
not
a
primary
care
provider.
So
it's
things
like
that.
B
We
see
that
have
been
kind
of
baked
into
our
system
that
have
made
it
difficult
for
providers
like
planned
parenthood
and
other
sexual
and
reproductive
health
care
providers
to
really
kind
of
generate
movement
within
the
system,
and
so
this
is
something
that
I
really
bring
as
a
lens
to
this
role.
As
this
president
and
ceo
of
planned
parenthood
in
western
pennsylvania,
not
only
because
I
believe
we
have
as
sexually
reproductive
healthcare
providers,
we
have
so
much.
B
We
can
offer
the
patients
we
do
see,
and
so
many
more
patients
at
this
time,
but
also
because
the
the
region
and
the
city
of
pittsburgh
has
just
is-
has
so
much
health
care
and
really
is
a
microcosm
for,
I
think,
what
we're
seeing
across
our
broader
health
care
system
and,
of
course,
you
know
one
of
the
main
things
since
coming
on
board
and
being
at
the
national
office
and
knowing
what
was
going
on
with
the
supreme
court
hearings
and
what
was
happening
with
the
jehu.
B
So
the
jackson,
the
dobbs
b,
jackson
women's
health
organization
case,
was
that
we
were
going
to
really
start
seeing
kind
of
you
know,
potentially
an
erosion
of
abortion
rights
here
in
this
country
and
so
stepping
into
this
role
in
january.
The
something
I
have
been
continually
doing
and
will
not
stop
doing,
is,
is
working
on
how
we
are
going
to
respond
to
this
moment,
not
expecting
a
leaked
supreme
court
decision
coming
from
dc.
You
never
see
like
the
supreme
like
things
get
leaked
from
the
supreme
court.
B
So
now
we
kind
of
know
the
worst
case
scenario
and
really
have
been
preparing
our
staff.
Our
patients
and
our
partnerships
with
other
local
providers
for
this
moment
and
and
really
kind
of
gearing
up
for
that
fight,
because
that
is
the
the
biggest
fight
that
this
movement
has
had
in
a
really
long
long
time,
and
it
is
going
to
have
huge
implications
on
this
region
for
our
current
patients
and
for
future
patients.
A
Yeah,
I
mean,
I
think,
what
you
just
said:
how
do
we
prepare
is
almost
such
a
philosophical
question
because
I
know
in
our
greater
culture
we
just
tend
to
you
know
it's
not
impacting
me.
So
why
should
I
care-
or
it's
happening
to
this
population
of
people?
So
that's,
you
know
tertiary,
but
you
know
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
you.
First
of
all,
we
are
an
intersectional
intersectionally
rooted
gec,
so
women's
rights
and
people
with
uteruses
that's
human
rights.
So
how
do
we
collectively
get
people
prepared
for
this
moment?
B
D
A
You
know
what
what
does
that
look
like
in
the
trenches
on
your
end,
but
more
broadly,
how
can
we,
as
a
collective
help
you
in
this
preparation
mode.
B
Yeah,
I
think,
what's
so
important,
and
something
I
want
to
acknowledge
is
what
you
were
mentioning
morgan
kind
of
this
othering
in
healthcare.
This
is
something
that
has
been
is
so
steeped
within
our
country's
healthcare
system
and
within
so
many
of
our
systems.
So
a
perfect
example
is
when
we
think
about
something
like
the
medicaid
program,
so
many
people
are
able
to
just
be
like.
Oh
I'm,
not
on
medicaid.
B
Who
cares
what
happens
to
that
program
like
like
that's
for
poor
people
or
that's
not
for
me
or
like
we,
we
create,
like
people,
have
created
a
narrative
around
who
accesses
these
programs
or
these
types
of
services,
so
then
you're
able
to
other
them
when
that's
not
really
the
case
and
and
people
who
are
on
medicaid
are
people
that
we
all
know
are
people
like
and
if
there
should
be
no
other,
because
they
are
a
part
of
our
our
society
like
they
are
a
part
of
our
ecosystem.
They
are
part
of
our
community.
B
Everyone
needs
healthcare
access
and
like
it
should
not
matter
what
kind
of
card
or
what
kind
of
coverage
you
have.
People
need
access
to
healthcare,
but
it
is
this
othering,
so
we've
seen
it
with
programs
like
medicaid
we've
seen
it
with
access
to
services
like
abortion
care
or
we've
seen
it
for
things
like
hormone
therapy,
we're
seeing
real
attacks
now
and
it's
easy
to
make.
Well,
that's
not
me,
I'm
not
I'm
not
transgender
or
I'm
not
a
woman,
or
I
don't
need
an
abortion.
B
I've
never
had
an
abortion,
that's
not
me
and
it's
that
constant
uttering
and
when
we've
been
othered
so
much
it's
easy
to
just
eliminate,
and
that
is
what
we're
starting
to
see.
So
I
I
think
your
point
of
saying
like
how
can
we
fight
this?
How
can
we
combat
this
like
first,
we
have
to
acknowledge
it
is
like
deeply
baked
into
our
system
and
in
the
ways
that
we
have
talked
about
work,
the
way
that
policy
is
written
about
some
of
this,
the
way
that
policy
is
executed
where
funding
is
allocated.
B
So
it
is
like
it's
a
big
thing.
It's
like
a
big
machine,
we're
up
against
here,
but
I
think
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
why
we're
all
here
is
we're
trying
to
do
our
part
to
to
slow
that
machine
down
or
to
like
get
that
machine
to
to
break
essentially,
and
so
what
we're
doing
at
ppwp
to
really
kind
of
prepare
for
this
moment
is
really
just
uplifting.
The
fact
that
you
know
abortion
is
a
is
a
common
procedure
and
it
is
an
incredibly
safe
procedure.
B
I
think
a
lot
of
you
probably
know,
but
pennsylvania
has
the
abortion
control
act.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
reporting
requirements.
We
have
to
do
as
independent
free
standing
clinics
to
the
department
of
health
about
our
safety
and
complication
rates.
We
have
you
know
we
have
a
24-hour
waiting
period
in
pennsylvania,
so
people
can
like
are
not
just
walking
in
and
receiving
an
abortion
or
abortion
services.
You
know
we,
you
know
we
only
go
up
to
certain
limits
in
the
abortions
that
we
provide.
B
So
it
is
a
very
kind
of
it's
a
very
safe,
very
regulated
procedure
already,
and
I
think
it
is
really
just
important
that
we
under
we
understand
that
and
uplift
that
so
people
we
can
kind
of
fight
that
narrative
that
people
can
just
kind
of
walk
in
or
you
know
there
is
no
counseling
or
there's
no
conversation.
It's
it's
there
is.
B
There
are
already
systems
in
place,
and
some
of
those
are
actually
can
be
seen
as
hurdles
for
some
patients
as
well,
but
we
are
all
very
much
compliant
with
that,
and
so
it
is
really
important
for
people
to
know
that,
because
it's
it's
just,
it
just
really
impacts
the
access
to
the
services.
B
Something
else
we're
also
I
really
want
people
to
understand
is
between
harrisburg
and
western
pennsylvania.
There
are
only
two
freestanding
abortion
clinics,
so
access
is
already
incredibly
difficult
in
pennsylvania,
and
so
you
know
people
are
saying
that
you
know
this
decision
is
to
protect
people.
It's
to
make.
You
know
it's
to.
It's
to.
You
know,
make
sure
that
we
are
seeing
particularly
black
or
brown.
B
People
are
being
safer
or
we're
protecting
those
children
or
those
babies,
but
we
already
know
it's
incredibly
difficult
in
this
state
to
already
get
access
to
this
care,
and
we
also
know
that
is
just
not
true.
Limiting
and
restricting
abortion
does
not
eliminate
it.
It
just
makes
it
unsafe,
and
that
is
not
where
we
want
to
go.
That
is
again
this
othering
and
then
it's
actually
getting
to
parts
where
it's
like.
B
It's
actually
like
hurting
people's
lives.
It's
impacting
people's
lives,
it's
making
it
dangerous,
and
so
not
only
are
we
othering
that
group,
but
we're
making
it
more
dangerous
for
them,
which
is
incredibly
scary,
and
so
we're
just
really
trying
to
talk
about
now
is
just
really
kind
of
letting
people
know
that
abortion
is
still
going
to
be
legal
in
pennsylvania,
regardless
of
what
this
decision
is,
and
so
we
are
going
to
do
whatever.
B
We
can
to
continue
to
perfect
to
protect
that,
because
it
is
a
safe
service,
it's
a
safe
procedure
that
that
people
need
and
that
they
should
be
able
to
have
access
to
as
long
as
it
is
legal
in
the
state
of
pennsylvania,
and
so
we're
continuing
to
have
that
conversation
and
just
uplifting
kind
of
what
the
service
is
and
and
what
we
think
you
know
needs
to
make
sure
that
we
can
do
to
continue
to
protect
it
down
the
road,
because
you
know
the
supreme
court
case
has
been
heard.
B
The
decision
is
gonna
be
put
out
any
day
and
I
thought
it
was
gonna
be
today
and
I
was
gonna
have
to
cancel
on
y'all,
but
it
was
not
today
and
now
it's
like
how
do
we
continue
to
keep
this
service
safe
and
legal
in
this
state.
A
E
Sidney,
thank
you
so
much
for
being
with
us
long
time
contributing
a
sustaining
member
of
planned
parenthood
and,
as
you
said,
you
know
you
just
can't
imagine
doing
the
work
of
women's
rights
or
gender
equity
without
reproductive
rights.
Bodily
autonomy
is
fundamental
to
who
we
are
as
people,
and
we
cannot
cannot.
F
E
Go
of
our
right
to
abortion.
It
is
just
absolutely
crucial,
so
thank
you
for
your
significant
work
really
important.
I
know
a
lot
of
us
here
are
curious
to
hear
you
share
with
us
your
thoughts
on
what
we
could
do
specifically
in
pittsburgh,
since
this
is
a
commission
that
reports
to
the
city
council
and
to
the
mayor's
office
are
there
things
that
we
could
be
doing
as
a
body
to
lift
up
your
work.
E
I
know
pittsburgh
is
about
to
become
a
pretty
central
node
in
this
in
this
work
in
this
debate,
and
I
know
we're
trying
to
get
ready
for
that.
What
can
we
be
doing
to
help
the
city?
Obviously,
we
don't
provide
health
services,
we're
not
the
county,
but
are
there
things
we
could
be
doing
at
a
city
level
to
help
get
ready.
B
But
you
know
it
is
predicted
that
we'll
also
see
an
influx
of
protesters
as
well
coming
from
these
other
places,
and
so
something
we've
been
thinking.
A
lot
about
is
security
for
our
patients
and
staff,
particularly
with
our
two
independent
providers.
So
us
and
our
great
partners
at
allegheny
repro
we're
both
headed
up
by
people
of
color,
and
I
think
we
are
just
a
part
of
a
time
where
we
are
seeing
attacks
on
on
people
for
a
whole
lot
of
different
reasons
and
so
making
sure
that
our
patients
and
our
staff
are
incredibly
safe.
B
And
so
you
know
we
had
our
buffer
zone
repainted.
So
thanks
for
that,
because
that
was
huge.
So
in
pittsburgh
we
have
a
buffer
zone,
so
we
can't
have
more
than
one
person
within
that
zone.
Kind
of
counseling
as
people
walk
in
at
a
time
and
so
justin
reinforcing
kind
of
a
commitment
from
from
the
city
regarding
the
security
and
safety
of
our
patients
and
staff
is
is
huge
because
we
know
you
know
preparing
for
increased
patients
things
like
operational
efficiencies.
B
B
I
think
thinking
about
how
we
can
be
working
with
with
the
city
on
on
things
like
that
is
going
to
be
really
huge,
and
it's
going
to
be
continuing
to
evolve
so
being
able
to
have
those
conversations
and
keeping
those
doors
open
will
be
something
so
important
and
I
think,
sometimes
often
overlooked
in
that
ripple
of
like
this
one
things
happen.
This
one
thing
happens
and
we're
trying
to
think
about
our
patients
and
our
staff
at
this
time,
but
really
what
does
that
mean
outside
of
just
the
services
we
provide?
B
A
And
then
everything
that
you're
saying
is
right
in
line
with
marigny's
principles,
which
is
to
make
pittsburgh
the
most
welcoming,
safe
and
thriving
city,
and
hand-in-hand
with
that
is
access
to
reproductive
justice
services.
So
I'm
so
happy
your
buffer
line
got
repainted.
When
I
found
out,
I
was
live.
Yes,.
B
It
was
like
I've
never
been
so
excited
to
see
like
a
yellow
line
somewhere,
but
I
was
just
like
this
is
great.
I
matter.
Yes,
I
think
something
else
too.
That
could
be
really
helpful
is.
Is
things
like
this
is
thinking
about,
as
our
city
continues
to
grow
and
be
such
a
presence
in
the
medical
space?
How
can
providers
like
planned
parenthood?
Other
sexual
reproductive
health
care
providers,
show
up
and
be
invited
to?
B
Some
of
these
conversations
because
we
know
healthcare
is
like
healthcare,
is,
is
moving
and
changing,
and
I
think
pittsburgh
can
personify
that,
given
the
the
system
that
we
have
here,
but
in
the
past
you
know
11
in
the
past
10
years,
definitely
since
the
affordable
care
act
passed,
but
even
before
that
we've
just
seen
so
much
change
within
the
system
and
making
sure
that
smaller
independent
providers,
especially
if
they're,
providing
like
a
specialty
service
that
you
know
isn't
high
dollar
like
a
cardiologist
or
like
a
dermatologist,
is
involved
in
these
conversations
because
we're
so
busy
fighting
this
fight.
B
This
is
a
huge
fight
for
our
movement
and
for
our
country,
but
like
we
also
need
to
be
in
conversations
about
medicaid
and
the
payment
structure,
and
how
are
gyn
providers?
Getting
you
know,
reimbursed
like
just
like
being
a
presence
to
bring
these
things
up
is
really
important
so
and
so
any
way
that
we
can
continue
to
be
involved
or
we
can
continue
to
be
in
this
space
will
be
huge,
because
my
goal
is
to
stop
the
siloing
and
othering
of
sexual
reproductive
health.
B
Stop
the
other
and
silent
of
abortion
care
and
bringing
it
into
the
system,
and
so
we
need
people
who
are
going
to
be
at
the
table
who
can
like.
We
can't
get
and
we're
gonna
try
to
like
force
it
jam
and
like
be
in
these
conversations.
Talk
about
what
we're
seeing,
because
we
know
we
see
so
many
patients,
and
we
know
that
what
they
need
should
be
included
in
a
value-based
payment
model
should
be
included
in
you
know
any
kind
of
transformation
efforts
within
the
city
or
any
kind
of
initiatives
that
we're
seeing.
A
I
think
we
all
are
and
jesse
had
raised
the
idea
of
the
commission
crafting
and
drafting
a
statement
in
reaction
to
you
know
what
we're
anticipating
right
and
it's
like.
I'm
really
glad
that
she
asked
the
question:
what
can
we
do
because
you
know
statements
can
only
get
us
so
far,
but
how
can
we
be
action
oriented
to
uplift
you
at
the
table
to
uplift
the
people
who
are
often
siloed
out
of
sexual
and
reproductive
and
health
care
at
large?
A
So
you
know
having
this
conversation
with.
You
really
has
us
thinking
and
shifting
our
gears
about
how
we
can
be
a
strategic
and
an
intentional
partner
in
this
movement,
because,
even
if
things
go
our
way,
which
we
can
just
only
hope
and
just
give
it
to
the
ancestors
at
this
point
you
know
we
still
are
going
to
have
to
keep
pushing
we're
still
going
to
have
to
keep
agitating
to
do
exactly
what
you
said:
break
the
machine
get.
A
In
another
direction,
right
yeah
does
any.
B
B
So,
like
I
think,
it's
just
like
starting
this
conversation
and
getting
to
start
dialogues
like
this
and
then
having
that
door
open
to
continue
will
definitely
mean
a
lot
to
me,
because
I
know
every
minute
of
the
day.
I'm
learning
more
and
more,
and
this
is
really
going
to
be
kind
of
a
journey
and
being
able
to
have.
These
conversations
will
be
important.
A
And
I
think
it's
important
for
us
all
to
acknowledge
that
you
know
we're
scholars
of
a
movement
every
day.
We
should
be
learning
every
day.
We
should
be
evolving
or
else
we're
just
part
of
the
problem
right.
So
thank
you,
for
you
know
raising
that
up,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
have
the
support
around
you
to
continue
to
learn,
because
I
think
you
know
just
the
space
alone.
A
There's
so
much
strength
in
it,
and
that's
something
that
I
really
want
to
raise
up
in
this
commission
that
whatever
one
person
doesn't
have
another
person
might
have
it
and
we
can
just
complete
a
puzzle
so
you're
not
alone
in
any
of
this
sydney,
and
we
just
applaud
you
for
you
know
being
in
the
trenches
of
this
so
early
in
your
tenure
as
ceo.
It's
like
wow
welcome.
A
Welcome
to
this
work.
Does
anybody
else
have
any
comments
or
anything
I
don't
want
to
take
up
too
much
space.
B
Thank
you
so
much
like.
I
said.
I've
only
been
here
for
a
few
months,
and
I
know
so
many
of
you
have
been
in
this
space
for
so
long
and
the
fact
that
you're
like
that
you
have
this
commission
that
you're
having
these
conversations
means
a
lot
to
me,
and
I
feel
so
grateful
that
I
get
to
to
plug
in
and
be
a
part
of
like
this.
This
amazing
network,
that's
here
in
pittsburgh,
so
it's
been
great
again,
it's
been
great.
G
Sydney,
this
is
janet.
I
I
again
want
to
echo
and
say
thank
you
so
much
one
for
joining
us
for
sharing
this
information.
It
was
a
wealth
of
information.
We
may
need
a
part
two,
I'm
just
forewarning,
because
there's
a
lot
and-
and
I
can't
wait
to
see
but
also
see
how
we
can
help
as
well.
G
You
know
it's
one
thing
to
hear
it,
but
I
also
say:
okay,
I've
heard
so
how
else
can
we
help
and
that's
really
where
I
am
so,
if
you
have
any
immediate
thoughts
of
just
something
that
we
can
do
in
the
interim,
that
could
help
please
let
us
know,
because
that's
really
where
I'm
at
yeah
and
I'm
just
just
curious
as
to
you
know
your
your
thoughts
right
now
of
what
is
it
that
we
can
do
initially
yeah
and
then
you
can
come
back
to
us
and
say:
okay,
we
get.
G
D
B
B
What
do
I
need
to
do
for
myself,
like
for
the
health
center,
for
our
patients
like
what
is
what
are
those
immediate
things
and
the
decision
making
in
the
day
in
and
day
out
and
and
it
is
it
takes
so
much
time
to
learn
all
of
that,
but
then
also
to
realize
truly
start
realizing
and
appreciating
the
tools
and
the
people
and
the
like
support
that
is
out
there
and
available,
and
so
I
am
like
immediately
after
this
gonna
be
reaching
out
to
my
teammate,
who
works
on
our
public
policy
work
and
really
think
about
like
what
we
can
sign
with
like
send
over
and
what
we
can
share,
because
because
I
do
want
to
be
really
intentional,
I
want
to
be
really
thoughtful
about
what
how
we're
engaging
support
realizing
this
is
like
this
is
gonna,
be
a
long,
long
fight
and
like
what
is
the
immediate
knowing
that
decisions
coming.
B
But
then
what
are
some
of
those
like
tent
posts
or
or
goal
posts
that
we're
looking
at
in
the
future
that
we
think
we're
just
gonna,
be
another
groundswell
of
work
or
support,
and
what
can
that
look
like
too
so
really
wanting
to
think
of
it
right?
This
is
a
movement
think
of
it
as
as
holistic
as
we
can
because
yeah.
I
think
it
will
just
really
serve
us
better
in
the
long
haul.
B
So
I'm
gonna
follow
up
with
her
about
that,
and
then
I
will
I
will
reach
back
out,
but
just
hearing
that
there
is
so
much
support
and
really
that
action-driven
support
means
a
lot
and
we
will
like
we're
not
turning
we're,
not
turning
on
support
anywhere
or
we're
not
turning
down
people
who
want
to
help.
So
we
will
get
something
to
you
for
sure.
E
I
was
also
reminded-
and
I
thought
it
was
worth
reading
into
the
record
morgan-
that
this
is
a
plank
in
our
ordinance,
and
since
we
were
talking
about
our
ordinance
earlier
during
our
working
session,
I
thought
it
might
be
worth
bringing
into
our
public
session
that
the
principles
of
cdot
founded
on
you
know,
international
human
rights
framework
really
mandate
that
the
city
of
pittsburgh
does
this
work
in
support
of
reproductive
justice.
It's
written
right
into
our
ordinance.
E
So
just
so,
the
public
hears
that
article
12
right
out
of
our
ordinance
says
it
requires
steps
to
eliminate
discrimination
from
the
field
of
health
care,
including
access
to
family
planning.
If
necessary.
These
services
must
be
free
of
charge
right
so
that
that
language
comes
right
out
of
our
cdaw
framework.
A
I
know
you
have
like
two
minutes
left,
but
I
definitely
want
to
give
you
time
for
any
like
closing
words
or
anything,
but
I
just
have
so
much
gratitude
and
appreciation
for
you
we'll
definitely
be
in
touch.
I'm
basically
right
up
the
street
from
you.
So
you
know
where
to
find
me,
but
is
there
anything
you
want
to
leave?
Oh,
go
ahead,
janet.
G
If,
if
I
can,
because
you
know
we
just
talked
about
this
in
our
previous
meeting-
and
I
know
part
of
planned
parenthood-
you
know
with
the
menstrual
problems
and-
and
I
was
just
talking
about
a
campaign
regarding
having
free
menstrual
products
available,
I
would
love
to
have
a
after
conversation
with
you
of
how
we,
the
gender
equity
commission,
can
partner
with
planned
parenthood
on
how
we
can
actually
come
out
with
an
a
free
initiative
regarding
that
there's
certain
platforms
that
I've
mentioned
to
my
fellow
commissioners,
but
I
do
want
to
have.
G
I
do
know
that
that's
one
of
the
low-hanging
fruits
that
we
can
partner
with
so
you'll
receive
an
email
from
me
from
from
the
workforce
equity
committee,
because
that
is
one
of
our
our
objectives,
but
it
all
ties
under
the
gender
equity
commission.
So
that
is
amazing.
That's
one
of
the
easy
ones.
Yeah
again
often
overlooked
very
much
needed,
not
only
in
workplaces.
G
That
gives
us
time
to
work
with
respective
school
systems.
We
know
that
they're
out
for
their
summer
break.
That
gives
us
enough
time
to
plan
in
preparation
for
the
upcoming
school
year,
but
yes,
yeah
and
I
think
I've
answered
my
own
question.
So
I've
already
told
you
what
you're
going
to
hear.
B
No,
I
think
this
is
great
and
like
and-
and
you
know
like
I
said
between
me
being
new
and
what
we
have
up
ahead.
There
is
a
lot
that
I
am
focused
on,
but
it
is
so
important
I
think,
for
us
to
continue
to
engage
on
issues
like
like,
like
access
to
menstruation
products,
access
to
access
to
like
low-cost
services.
Things
like
engaging
on
the
conversation
we're
having
regarding
around
medicaid
and
who's
excited
like
what
does
the
network
look
like?
B
How
are
people
accessing
other
types
of
like
there's
just
so
many
different
conversations
that
I
want
us
to
be
a
part
of,
and
unfortunately
our
fight
has
taken
us.
We
need
to
put
everything
so
much
into
this,
but
I
definitely
if
anything
I
want
to
leave
here
today
with
people
thinking
about
us,
and
I
don't
know
if
you
thought
like
how
planned
parent
of
western
pennsylvania
was
thought
of
before.
But
but
I
want
us
to
be
a
part
of
that
conversation
and
so
feel
free
to
send
anything.
B
B
B
A
A
But
it'll
be
on
youtube
so
with
that
being
said,
I
just
want
to
take
a
meditative
moment,
because
I
know
that
was
a
lot
of
really
amazing
information.
It
definitely
has
my
care
shifting
of
how
we
can
be
an
intentional
partner,
and
you
know
lift
up
the
work
that
she's
doing,
because
it's
definitely
thankless
on
top
of
the
work
that
we
do
in
the
commission.
So
let's
just
combine
all
the
thankless
efforts
together
and
let
people
know
about
it
right.
So
the
next
thing
on
our
agenda
is
our
old
business.
A
So
jalisa,
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
the
good
of
the
order
should
know
about
in
your
committee,
but
the
floor
is
yours:.
C
Hello
good
afternoon,
everyone,
the
governor's
leadership
development
committee,
has
been
meeting.
We
are
still
seeking
a
chair
for
the
commission
as
well
as
we
are.
I
guess
the
biggest
update
for
our
committee
this
month
was
just
that
we
are
shifting
our
meeting
dates
to
accommodate
more
of
our
committee
members,
so
acting
chair
overton.
I
will
get
you
that
information
so
that
I
can
be
officially
in
the
meeting
record.
G
Know,
workforce
equity
is
continuing,
as
we
had
last
month
during
the
month
of
may,
our
online
training
again,
which
is
free.
It's
the
one
hour
training
on
helping
to
educate
women
on
how
to
know
their
worth
know
their
value
in
the
workplace
so
when
they
are
asking
for
an
increase
in
their
current
place
of
employment
or
they're
seeking
new
employment.
That
is
the
whole
purpose
of
this
training
and
it
is
free.
It's
for
one
hour.
We
did
a
lunch
and
learn
for
the
month
of
june.
G
We
are
going
to
have
online
focus,
then,
starting
in
the
month
of
july,
we're
going
to
do
another
online
virtual
and
then
starting
in
the
fall
we
will
have
in
person.
So
I
know
everyone
is
biting
at
the
bits
to
really
come
out
and
be
in
person
that
will
occur
hopefully
september
or
october
of
this
year,
but
again
we'll
have
all
of
that
stuff
posted
on
our
respective
commissioner
website.
G
So,
even
though
we
don't
have
an
actual
instructor-led
course
for
the
month
of
june,
it
is
going
to
be
listed
on
the
website
where
you
can
go
online
and
do
a
self
learning
until
the
next
scheduled
one
for
next
month.
We
have
more
partners
that
we
are
working
with,
and
time
has
just
escaped
us,
and
this
month
has
gone
a
little
bit
too
fast,
but
we
are
still
doing
our
workforce
equity
training
on
pay
inequity.
G
Again
we
are
living
in
the
new
normal
with
covet,
but
the
inequity
of
pay
is
still
prevalent
now
more
than
ever,
impacting
women
compared
to
the
salary
of
men.
So
our
mission
on
that
is
going
to
continue.
G
G
You
know
there
are
a
lot
of
women
and
female,
identifying
employees
who
are
having
to
leave
work
early
and
lose
time
or
not
even
report
to
work
due
to
the
unfortunate
not
having
or
have
the
capability
to
obtain
menstrual
products,
and
it's
a
shame
that
we
are
in
2022
that
we
still
have
employees
who
are
having
to
utilize
their
own
personal
time
or
vacation
time
to
leave
work
or
not
report
to
work
when
when
this
is
something
that
I
believe
employers
can
actually
provide
for
free
to
help
the
employees
in
their
respective
workplace
so
more
to
come
on
that.
A
Thank
you
janet
and
then
are
there
any
comments
or
questions
with
what
either
committee
just
reported
out?
It's
pretty
straightforward,
morgan,
yes
jesse!
I
feel.
E
Like
I
have
my
historian's
hat
on
today,
I
just
wanted
to
build
on
what
janet
said.
E
As
janet
knows,
we
had
a
fellow
working
with
the
city
of
pittsburgh
in
the
summer
of
2019.,
isabelle
siegel
worked
with
the
gender
equity
commission
and
did
a
bunch
of
work
around
menstrual
equity
and,
if
anybody's
interested,
that
we
have
information
in
the
commissioner's
folder
commissioners
can
access
that
members
of
the
public
won't
be
able
to
do
that,
but
we
do
have
resources
around
menstrual
equity
and
that
fellow,
the
student
who
worked
with
us
put
together
a
list
of
resources,
some
best
practices
when
thinking
about
menstrual
equity.
E
So
just
again,
so
we
don't
reinvent
the
wheel,
we
don't
need
to
go
backwards.
We've
done
some
of
that
work.
She
really
helped
us
think
too
about
how
to
be
gender
inclusive
in
that
work,
so
that
those
products
not
only
are
being
placed
in
all
restrooms,
but
thinking
about
the
receptacles
that
are
needed
and
how
we
don't
out
people
at
work,
so
lots
of
good
work
already
done
there.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
everybody
knew
we
had
that
in
the
folder,
thanks
janet
for
spearheading
that.
A
Are
there
any
announcements
from
folks?
I
do
want
to
say
happy
pride
month
and
we
celebrate
pride
all
year
long,
but
it
is
june.
So
I
just
wanted
to
give
that
little
razzle
dazzle,
but
are
there
any
announcements
in
terms
of
any
community
happenings
or
anything
that
any
of
you
are
working
on
that
you
want
folks
to
know.
B
F
Hi
hi,
everybody,
I'm
sorry.
I
have
I
had
another
conflict
today.
I
wanted
to
just
draw
the
public's
attention
to
the
fact
that
it
we
still
have
a
little
bit
of
time
to
appeal
to
the
city's
capital
budget
requests.
F
We
often
have
talked
about
how
you
know:
budgets
are
moral
documents,
but
budgets
are
also
gendered
documents,
and
so
it's
important
to
use
a
gendered
lens
when
we're
even
talking
about
the
things
that
are
building
the
physical
structure
of
our
city
and
that's
where
the
things
go
into
the
capital
budget,
which
is
a
separate
from
the
operating
budget
which
keeps
the
lights
on
the
city
and
gets
people.
You
know,
pays
the
phone
bills
and
pays
payroll.
F
So
it's
defined
here
as
capital
budget
are
projects
that
are
used
to
design,
build,
restore,
retain
or
purchase
city
owned
assets
that
have
a
minimum
value
of
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
a
minimum
useful
life
of
five
years
and
we're
still,
you
can
make
comments
on
this
engage
page.
There
were
several
public
hearings
that
were
recorded.
You
can
also
view
those
it
happened
earlier
in
june
and
you
can
contact
your
city
council
person
to
also
suggest
capital
budget
items.
F
F
I
also
receive
capital
budget
requests
from
some
of
the
you
know:
issue
based
advocacy
groups
like
livable
streets,
especially
that
are
concerned
about
safe
crosswalks
and
safe
pedestrian
and
bike
facilities,
and
then
some
other
issue
groups
as
well
like
gardens
and
food
related
advocacy
groups,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
raise
that
awareness,
because
it's
a
really
important
place
where
we
can
think
about
how
we
make
the
city
more
supportive
and
aligned
and
use
city
resources
to
support
women
and
girls
and
women
identify
or
female
identifying
people
of
all
kinds.
F
I
think
I
had
another
item,
but
that's
that's
the
big
one,
the
big
one
that
we've
been
working
on.
A
A
A
D
Judy
I
have
a
question
related
to
budget.
I
think
we're
still
waiting
to
hear
if
there
is
an
update
regarding
the
budget
for
the
position
of
the
executive
director
of
the
gender
equity
commission
is.
Is
there
an
update
on
that
for
this
month's
meeting.
G
I
was
just
waiting
for
my
opportunity.
I
I
know
that
morgan's
question
or
I'm
sorry,
acting
chair,
overton
question
was
what
were
we
working
on,
so
I
was
just
gonna
wait,
but
since
I'm
talking
let
me
address
that.
I
know
that
last
month,
as
it
was
shared,
there
had
been
some
meetings
with
some
of
the
commissioners
with
mayor,
ed
gainey
and
one
of
the
questions
or
information
that
was
shared
was
that
they
didn't
believe
that
within
the
2022
budget
still
remain
monies
for
the
executive
director
position
and
I'm
here
to
confirm
that.
G
Yes,
there
is
money
still
in
the
2022
budget,
it
has
been
confirmed
by
the
deputy
director
of
office
management
and
budget,
as
well
as
another
resource
in
the
office
of
management
and
budget,
and
the
monies
is
still
in
there
regarding
the
hiring
of
an
executive
director
for
the
city
of
pittsburgh,
gender
equity
commission,
all
of
our
other
monies
for
our
other
respective
projects,
are
also
still
in
there.
G
We
again
have
signed
our
renewed
contract
with
aauw
for
us
to
continue
the
partnership
for
the
workforce,
equity
trainings,
that
we
are
doing,
and
then
there's
also
money
still
within
the
budget
for
us
to
utilize
for
other
platforms
or
programs
that
we
as
a
commission
deemed
necessary
for
the
year
of
2022..
G
So
hopefully
that
will
provide
some
relief
for
those
that
may
have
thought
otherwise.
It
you're
hearing
it
straight
from
me.
So
I'm
speaking
in
the
role
of
a
gender
equity
commissioner,
but
also
the
head
of
hr
for
the
city,
the
money
is
there.
D
G
Have
not
received
that
that
is
a
takeaway
that
I
can
go
back
and
and
probably
report
on
for
for
next
time,
but
I
have
not
received
a
timeline
and
I
will
take
that
question
back.
Thank
you.
A
Any
other
announcements
anything
for
the
month
of
june
that
people
should
know
about.
E
Just
wanted
to
ask
a
follow-up
question:
janet:
is
there
anything
else
we
could
be
doing
to
support
your
efforts
to
get
this
position
hired?
Is
there
something
collectively
we
ought
to
be
doing
from
the
commission?
I
I'm
worried
that
you
all
are
in.
We
don't
want
to
put
you
between
a
rock
and
a
hard
place.
We've
got
several
city
employees
on
our
executive
committee
and
I
worry
about
having
you
you
know
exposed.
I
don't
want
any
vulnerability
or
precarity
there
in
your
positions.
So
I'm
very
aware
of
that.
E
G
That
is
one
form
of
assistance,
so
when
instead.
G
I
think
I
might
have
gotten
frozen
a
little
bit.
I
got
a
little
note.
What
I
was
stating
is
once
the
position
is
posted
all
respective
commissioners,
as
we
did
in
the
past,
can
make
it
known
to
those
in
our
network
that
the
respective
position
is
posted
and
if
they
have
interest
that
they
can
apply,
that
is
a
form
of
assistance
and
the
fact
that
I
kind
of
also
hold
the
position
as
head
of
hr
for
the
city.
That
is
just
part
of
the
work
responsibility
within
my
department.
G
So
if
it
has
to
be
posted,
it's
going
to
come
from
this
department,
no
matter
what
that's
just
part
of
our
job,
no
additional
burden.
It's
just
part
of
the
part
of
the
work,
but
I
will
find
out
regarding.
Is
there
a
time
frame
and
hopefully,
by
the
you
know,
we
never
know
it
might
be
posted
by
then
I
don't
know
we'll
see,
but
I'll
keep
everyone
posted.
A
We
have
about
10
minutes
left.
Does
anybody
have
anything
they
wanted
to
raise
to
the
group
for
the
greater
community
who
is
watching.
E
You
get
to
take
a
calling
on
me.
I
feel
like
keep
putting
my
hands
up
like
I'm
in
school.
Here
we
were
talking
about
our
meetings,
but
we
didn't
have
a
chance
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
possibility
of
moving
back
into
meeting
in
person.
So
I
just
wondered
if
there
were
any
updates,
if
that's
happening
in
the
city,
if
that
might
be
a
possibility,
whether
or
not
we
take
out
some
some
time
off
or
break
how
we
feel
about
meeting
in.
A
You
know
mean,
I
think,
that's
a
greater
question
for
everybody
in
here.
Do
you
all
feel
comfortable
being
in
person,
because
I
know
these
covet
numbers
are
fluctuating
and
even
though
we're
vaccinated
that
can
you
can
still
get
covered
as
someone
who
had
it
last
month?
I
know
this,
so
it
depends
on
what
people
feel
in
here.
D
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
would
support
having
hybrid
meetings
so
that
folks
could
participate
remotely
if
they
wanted
to
and
in
person.
I
personally
would,
unless
I'm
out
of
state
on
vacation,
really
like
to
participate
in
person,
but
I
appreciate
the
option
to
participate
remotely.
If
someone
has
the
sniffles
and
doesn't
have
their
test
results,
yet
I
think
that's
a
great
way
to
participate
or,
if
you're,
for
any
other
reason,
if
you're,
immunocompromised
or
whatever-
and
we
don't
have
to
discuss
why.
D
But
I
think,
having
a
hybrid
option
within
person
would
be
really
valuable
for
our
group.
G
In
my
system
shutoff,
I
apologize
what
I
was
stating
is:
I
have
been
having
in-person
meetings,
we
social
distance,
there's
conference
rooms
in
hr
where
people
can
spread
out.
G
A
Yeah
and
engaging
is
just
so
much
different
in
person,
and
we
know
this
and
that's
the
most
obvious
sentence,
but
I
mean
we
just
had
our
first
executive
committee,
so
I
was
able
to
meet
janet
and
marcel
in
person.
Finally,
after
two
years
we
had
an
executive
committee
in
person.
It
was
just
it
was
just
amazing,
so
I
mean
I
would
love
to
see
all
of
you
in
person
at
once.
That
would
be
great.
A
I've
been
seeing
each
of
you
individually
in
person,
but
that's
something
that
we
can
definitely
look
into
on
our
end
here
in
the
city,
plenty
of
conference
rooms,
anything
else.
A
A
Okay,
gotcha
alrighty.
Well,
if
there
is
nothing
else,
yes
jeffy,
do
we.
E
Have
minutes
that
I
was
just
curious,
I
don't
think
we've
done
minutes
for
several
months
going
back.
I
couldn't
find
them
since
january
in
our
meeting
folders
it.
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
minutes
at
some
point.
A
A
To
it,
but
I
will
check
okay,
we'll
double
check
that
and
then
we
could
just
do
like
a
whole
sweep
of
minutes
for
next
time,
because
that's
something
that
definitely
fell
off
the
radar.
This
is
why
we
need
more
executive
committee.
